Keri Leigh's second album, No Beginner, is a more distinguished effort than her debut.
Leigh and her guitarist/husband Lyon stake out a territory between Texas blues and blues-rock, much like their predecessors
Stevie Ray Vaughan,
Janis Joplin and
ZZ Top.
Leigh's music doesn't have as many rock & roll overtones, but she and her band,
the Blue Devils, play with a fiery rock energy and that energy comes across more clearly here than on their debut. ~ Thom Owens
